Description
CONVEYOR EQUIPPED WITH A DEVICE TO SEPARATE MISALLED COVERS
BACKGROUND The present invention relates to the field of manufacturing containers for packaging liquids, particularly edible liquids, notably in bottle-type containers made of a plastic or glass material and equipped with a closure cap made of a plastic material and refers to a transported that is equipped with a device to separate misaligned lids. The bottle closure caps are generally cleaned before being placed on the bottles and transported to a lid closing station through the intermediation of conveyors in the form of a ramp. Such transport of lids to the lid closing station requires absolutely correct orientation of the lids so that they can be automatically mounted on said lids. At the exit of the conveyors in the form of a ramp, in the lid closing stations, the lids are placed in said lid closing stations with their means for mounting on the mouth of the bottles perfectly oriented in the forward direction, for avoid any risk of stopping a production chain. This problem is particularly useful in the presence
of the lids whose weight is greater than the diameter and which may be present in the conveyors a coaxial orientation with respect to the longitudinal axes, so that they can not be assembled and fastened completely before installation. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages by proposing a conveyor that is equipped with a device for separating misaligned covers, which automatically eliminates all the misaligned covers before they reach a lid closing stations and thus guarantees the uniform operation of a lid closing installation. For this purpose, the conveyor according to the invention is characterized in that it is equipped with a device for separating misaligned covers, which consists of a longitudinal opening that is partially provided in an edge and in the lower part of said conveyor, in the way of a partial break in the guide of the covers of that. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be better understood with the help of the following description, which refers to a preferred embodiment and is given as a non-limiting example and explained with reference to the schematic drawings in the appendix, in which :
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a conveyor according to the invention, Figure 2 is a view on an enlarged scale, in a lateral elevation and with the cross section of a device for separating misaligned covers, in the guide and holding the position of a cover oriented correctly and Figure 3 is a similar view of Figure 2, the device representing a separation position of a misaligned cover. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Figure 1 of the drawings in the appendix depicts a lids conveyor 1, which is intended to feed a downstream machine, for example, a lid closing machine. Such a lid conveyor 1 can be arranged between a lid cleaning station and a lid closing station and it is imperative that the lids 2 move on the lids conveyor 1 while they are perfectly oriented for placement on the lid of the lids. bottles in the cap closing station. To transport the lids 2 in an oriented manner, the conveyor 1 of the lids 2, which is in the form of a tubular guide of the square cross-section, consists of an installation of the vertical profile sections 1 'and horizontal 1" , which are fixed on an infrastructure 3 to be mounted on
a production line and of which at least one of the profiled sections 1"horizontal has an adjustable position." Such adjustment of the position of a profiled section 1"of horizontal guide, preferably in a superior position, allows the adaptation of the guide of the covers 2 as a function of their diameter, in such a way that said covers 2 are always perfectly in contact with the profiled sections 1"of the horizontal guide and thus holding The profiled sections 1 'of the vertical guide can either be rigidly fixed in position on the infrastructure 3 or at least one of them can have an adjustable position to allow the adaptation of the guide by the profiled sections 1' of the vertical guide as a function of the height of the lids 2. Furthermore, the guide of the lower part of the lids 2 is advantageously produced through the intermediation of two profiled sections 1 of the horizontal guide. According to the invention, the conveyor 1 of the lids 2 is provided with a separating device 4 for separating misaligned lids 2, which consists of a longitudinal opening that is partially provided on an edge and on the lower part of said conveyor 1 of lids 2, in the form of a partial break in the lids guide 2 of that.
It is preferred for the separating device 4 to separate the misaligned lids 2 that are provided near one end of the conveyor 1 of the lids 2 and for the partial break in the lids 2 guide in the latter consisting of a cut of a profiled section 1 'of the vertical guide and of the profiled section 1 of the horizontal guide adjacent to this section V profiled of the vertical guide having a length which is greater than the covers 2 guided on the conveyor 1 of the covers 2, wherein the upper part of the partial break in the profiled section 1 'of the vertical guide is replaced by a profiled section 5 of upper lateral support extending through a small part of the height of the section 1' profiled of the guide cutting vertical, which starts at the top of the infrastructure 2. Thus, the separation device 4 for separating the misaligned covers 2 delimits a space in the conveyor 1 of the covers 2 a through which all the misaligned lids 2 necessarily fall outside the conveyor 1 of the lids 2, while the correctly oriented lids, with the upper part of their corresponding face, remain in contact with the upper lateral profile section 5 of support. Indeed, as shown more particularly in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawing in the appendix, in the presence of correctly oriented caps (Figure 2), these caps
they rest during their progression in the conveyor 1 of the covers 2, with their front face and rear face against the profiled sections 1 'of the vertical guide and are in contact through their lower generatrix and lower generatrix with the horizontal guides 1" Upon arrival at the height of the separation device 4 to separate misaligned lids 2, the correctly oriented lids 2 still rest, on one side, with one of their faces on the profiled section 1 'of the corresponding vertical guide and on the other hand with the upper part of its opposite face, against the profiled upper lateral section 5 of support and finally through its lower generatrix, on the profiled section 1 of the uncut horizontal guide located near the profiled section 1 of the guide vertical not cut (Figure 2). Thus the caps 2 which are correctly oriented as they are presented by themselves before the separation device 4 separates the misaligned caps 2 from the conveyor 1 of the caps 2, remaining perfectly supported in the latter and can be transported towards the downstream station, without risk falling through said device 4. If a cover 2 misaligned at the height of the device of the separation device 4 to separate misaligned covers 2 of the conveyor 1 of lids 2 (Figure 3), this lid that is still on the conveyor do not
it comes into contact with all the faces of the profiled sections 1 'of the vertical guide and the profiled sections 1 of the horizontal guide, without resting more on the profiled section 1"of the horizontal guide and can no longer rest on the also section 1 'of profiled cut of the vertical guide. After this lid 2 does not swing completely and is released instantaneously from its previous contact with the two profiled sections of guide, ie the vertical 1 'and the horizontal 1", subsisting at the level of the separation device 4 to separate misaligned lids 2 of the conveyor 1 of lids 2 to fall off the conveyor 1 towards a means (not shown) to receive the misaligned lids 2. Thanks to the invention, it is thus possible to carry out a lid transfer between two work stations while It assures with security the correct orientation of the covers upon arrival, by eliminating all the misaligned covers.This elimination is carried out when using a simple and perfectly readable device, for which the costs due to the verification of the orientation are very low Naturally, the invention is not limited to the described modality shown in the appendix drawing, modifications remain possible, notably from the point of view of the constitution of the differentelements or by replacing equivalent techniques, without leaving the scope of protection of the invention.
